WILLIAMSPORT — Philadelphia Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg is scheduled to be one of the special guests at the 8th annual Hot Stove Banquet of the Williamsport Crosscutters on Jan. 20.

Sandberg, a 2005 inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame, was named the Phillies interim manager in August and the skipper a month later. He was drafted by Philadelphia but spent most of his major league career with the Chicago Cubs.

Also scheduled to appear are Montoursville native Tom O’Malley, whose baseball career included nine seasons in the majors and six in Japan, and the Phillie Phanatic. The Cutters, a Class A farm team of the Phillies, said additional guests will be announced later.

The latest inductee into the Bowman Field Hall of Fame will be announced at the dinner that will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Genetti Hotel in downtown Williamsport. Tickets are $49 for adults and $39 for children 12 and under with part of the proceeds going to charity.
